Their only sin was providing support and sanctuary to terrorist organizations. If you're going to invade Afganistan on such pretenses, why aren't you invading Iraq, Iran and Syria? </I><BR/><BR/>Eli Blake: <I>And North Korea, Cuba, Zimbabwe, China, Myanmar, Venezuela.</I> <BR/><BR/>You didn't understand the point. Your commenter at 10:24 AM said:<BR/><BR/>"...the war in Afghanistan, which was a necessary and unavoidable self-defense consequence of 9/11"<BR/><BR/>So the question I have for him is: you supported the invasion of Afganistan because their government was providing sanctuary to Al Queda and refused to hand him over. How can you oppose toppling the governments of other nations [like Iraq, Iran and Syria] who also harbor/support terrorists [including Al Queda].<BR/><BR/>Eli: <I>And North Korea, Cuba, Zimbabwe, China, Myanmar, Venezuela.</I> <BR/><BR/>China and N Korea have nukes. We can't use military force to topple enablers of terrorists. Zimbabwe, Myanmar and Venezuela do not have WMD programs they can hand off to terrorists for attacks against the West. Your response is a non sequitur.<BR/><BR/>Iraq had a WMD program and ties to terrorist orginazations. Thats the combination that threatens us: rogue nation states developing WMDs like Anthrax, Ricin, Sarin to hand off to terrorists for proxy attacks against the West. Iran is a perfect example. And Syria will fall with Iran.Fenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16734571593963330215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-21611328129109221682007-05-30T10:18:00.000-05:002007-05-30T10:18:00.000-05:00Lucky: From the Creation Museum:...Revenant: And t...Lucky: <I>From the Creation Museum:...</I><BR/><BR/>Revenant: <I>And the reason you're babbling about the Creation Museum is...?</I><BR/><BR/>Lucky has run out of argument and thinks attacking my faith will marginalize my points.
